Hello, what are the steps to transfer the opera file to another PC?
On an external drive I have a copy of the opera folder with its files.
I couldn't get a backup of the bookmarks, but I do have the opera file. what are the steps?

@lilian271 Enable Sync, since some can only be transferred through Sync, and backup/copy the profile directory (path can be seen in opera://about).

Then paste the content of the profile directory in the same directory in the new installation.

@leocg Hello, the synchronization did not work..
And how do you paste the contents of the profile directory into the same directory in the new installation?
Is there a video where you can see how to do that?

@lilian271 No data was transferred through Sync? Did you login using the same account on both devices and enabled synchronization?

Yes, I started with the same account, and I also enabled synchronization and it doesn't work.

@lilian271 Just go to your backup of your old Opera profile directory, select all the content and copy it. Then go to the current profile directory and paste the copied content into it.

@leocg What is the backup of your old Opera profile directory?
Which of these folders am I going to copy and paste?

@lilian271 None, since that is the installation folder and don't have your data.
